Forged Performance with Heritage Styling
The ML-10RT takes inspiration from legendary racing wheel designs while leveraging modern monoblock forging technology. Apex engineers created a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than many traditional multi-piece designs while maintaining the deep-lip aesthetic enthusiasts demand.
Reinforced Sprint Inner Lip Technology
Borrowed directly from Apex's Sprint wheel program, the reinforced inner lip strengthens one of the most vulnerable areas of the wheel. By strategically increasing material in critical zones, the ML-10RT delivers improved impact resistance and durability without sacrificing weight savings.
Advanced Side-Milled Spokes
Each spoke features aggressive side milling that removes excess material without compromising structural integrity. This precision-machined design reduces weight while creating additional visual depth and enhancing the wheel's motorsport-inspired appearance.
Anthracite Machined Lip Finish
The Anthracite center paired with the signature machined lip creates a sophisticated motorsport aesthetic that complements a wide range of BMW builds. A durable gloss clear coat protects the machined lip and eliminates the need for ongoing polishing or maintenance.
